I am trying to understand what marriage looks like for men who are not naturally confident or socially strong. I do not have much relationship experience, and I find conflict and social situations difficult at times. I have worked on improving myself through things like going to the gym, focusing on my goals, and trying to be more social, but I still feel like I come across as awkward. From what I have seen in real life, some marriages seem very one-sided, where the man handles most of the financial and household responsibilities, and there are issues like lack of intimacy or trust. Seeing this makes me unsure about whether marriage is a good idea for someone like me. I am currently single. While I do feel lonely sometimes, I also value the stability and freedom I have right now, especially financially. For those of you who were in a similar position before getting married, what actually happened in your case? Did your concerns turn out to be accurate, or were they different in reality? submitted by /u/kalo_chagol
